Ravens veteran WR Derrick Mason, who will become an unrestricted free agent March 5, says it will take a multi-year contract for him to return to Baltimore.

“I’m weighing my options to potentially come back and play,” Mason said. “My thought pattern is that if there’s no need to come back for one year, then there’s no need to come back. It has to be for more than one year.”

Following Monday night’s game in which the Ravens were flagged for five pass interference penalties against the Packers, Ravens WR Derrick Mason didn’t hold back Wednesday when asked by reporters about his frustration with the calls.

The Thursday injury report has been released and includes some notable players — Bengals RB Cedric Benson, Texans DE Mario Williams and Cowboys WR Roy Williams among them — sitting out for the second day in a row.

Looks like a crises was averted for the Baltimore Ravens — WR Derrick Mason has returned to today’s game against the New England Patriots. The news may not be as positive for the Bears and WR Devin Hester.
